Madden 19 Ultimate Team of the Year reveal lives up to lofty expectations
The first ever Madden Daily Drops stream certainly yielded information equal to the rarity, revealing 30 different Team of the Year players, all of which between the 94 to 98 overall range.
MUT fans will have to wait till Monday at 10:30 a.m. ET in order to indulge in the program, but it certainly won’t quell the excitement.
While it doesn’t quite repeat the similarities of Madden 18’s arguably most beloved promo, this version of Team of the Year is pretty darn loaded, with the addition of “speciality” players replacing Rookie of the Year players.
Fun fact – with the addition of 95 overall RT Rob Havenstein, there will be as many 92+ overall right tackles in Madden Ultimate Team as there are punters. Hopefully this is an area that will be corrected in the future.
- QB: Drew Brees 97
- HB: Todd Gurley II 98
- FB: Kyle Juszczyk 95
- WR 1: Tyreek Hill 96
- WR 2: JuJu Smith-Schuster 95
- WR 3: Adam Thielen 96
- TE: George Kittle 95
- LT: David Bakhtiari 95
- LG: Quenton Nelson 96
- C: Alex Mack 95
- RG: Marshal Yanda 96
- RT: Rob Havenstein 95
Without a Power-Up option until this release, Garrett is expected to be one of the most sought after defensive cards in the game, and at this point is arguably the best right end in the game at the moment.
Rookie Premiere owners will be happy to see another jump in their item, but Vander Esch just got a 93 overall item for the Playoffs program which released a week ago. It’s a head-scratching decision given the plethora of potential linebackers in need of an upgrade, but it’s made doubly worse given Leonard is one of the front runners for Rookie of the Year and therefore in line to receive another upgrade as a result.
Given the litany of potential outside linebackers to choose from, it’s difficult to say EA chose right on either direction should they stick their formula from past Maddens
